This seems like a social step in the wrong direction. Over the last 18 months, we've experienced a social media boom. Many non-profits and government agencies are harnessing the power of these tools most effectively. President Obama practically won the 2008 Presidential Election by leveraging social media (Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, was amongst his senior advisors). Millions of dollars were raised in response to the earthquake in Haiti in a few hours. Young people also used the power of social media to tweet and Facebook their thoughts and feelings about healthcare reform on Sunday.
Homeschoolers have won a round in the long fight against the crackdown on family rights contained to the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of the Child, but experts say they need to keep up their guard. The convention, which is not yet ratified in the United States but has been adopted by numerous other nations, orders that children can choose their own religion with parents only having the authority to advise them, the government can override a parent's decision regarding a child if a social worker disagrees, a child has a right to a government review of every parental decision and Christian schools would violate the law if they refused to teach children "alternative worldviews." Homeschoolers win round against United Nations
